South Africa by Dr Prem

South Africa perhaps can be best related with travel photography. When you talk about South Africa, the first destination to attract a travel photographer would be the Kruger National Park, a world renowned sanctuary housing world’s most imposing and attractive fauna. Mighty lions and elephants are almost ready to be captured in your lens. You just need to be at the right place at the right moment. Go for endless photo shoots that may leave you exhausted but the subjects will not. Luxurious cottages and resorts set up against fantastic landscapes reveals another aspect of natural beauty in South Africa luring tourists from any corner of the globe for travel photography.

Kruger National Park is not your usual sanctuary. With loads of birds and wildlife teeming the park, the lone bird here seems to be at ease with the crowd. It does not reveal a flicker of irritation with the onlookers or even with the varied life its home houses. So contended, it almost teaches us to be at ease with ourselves so that we may find our true footing in life.

If it was not for this elephant, we would not have known what it means for giants to tread the earth. The magnanimity and the hugeness of the beast are such that it awes us, yet it never scares us. We can only admire its gentle ferocity and madness before we begin to look deep into what it feels. A beast, so big, yet so wonderful!

Africa. Not just the greenery, but the charming pool, the cottage style resting areas, bring out the best in you. The peace here is rarely found elsewhere that is why they say South Africa is God's own country.
